Sold my car, eat a plant based diet, talk to people about climate change and what they can do, change pensions, investments etc. to greener banks. I imagine the majority of my carbon footprint is probably from electricity now. I'd like to get involved with local green politics at some point but it's something I haven't really done yet.
I noticed the same over the past two days. Using the cyclosm live layer on their website seems to work, just slowly.
Traffication: How Cars Destroy Nature and What We Can Do About It by Paul Donald
We should do both
I had a look into this recently and the verdict was there's nothing really that good out there sadly.
A green future is a future where our lives are significantly different to what they are now. Yes the largest polluters are massive companies, but they are massive companies who are producing things based on demand. If we demand bigger and less efficient cars, then they will produce them. Obviously they can shape what we demand through advertising, but I hate the way that personal responsibility is totally overlooked.
Magic Earth is good for navigation but not open source sadly. OSMAnd is just too confusing for the average user. The routing on Organic maps is dreadful imo, but the app itself is pretty so I keep it installed.
If I needed a laptop I'd get a framework, sure it's a bit more expensive at the beginning but you'll probably save in the long run. It's also good to show there's a market for user serviceable tech, hopefully forces big tech's hand a bit.
I do a lot, we also use the OpenStreetMap data for my work. I enjoy it but it's definitely lacking in some areas, and there's no app that really comes close to being a Google Maps replacement sadly.
It does yeah, the UI is very similar to Google Maps
